In the market for a TV; Need some advice

JabbaTheHut · 2011-01-13 23:28:33

Looking to buy a new telly. Anything from 32" to 42". Am I right in saying it needs to be mpeg4 compatiable for digital signal? What's the best option as far as LCD/Plasma/LED goes? Also, is there any difference between HD and HD ready? What other features should I be on the look out for? Budget is around €400-€600.

D.I.D. have a useful buying guide when it comes to the Plasma/LCD choice.

To ensure you get a TV that's futureproof for Irish Digital TV, you'll need it to have been "Saorview" compatible. In other words, it will need to have MPEG4 and MHEG5 (interactive & teletext).

There's a thread over in the Terrestrial forum that has a list of TVs that are fit for purpose as things stand.

www.powercity.ie have a range of TVs that are Saorview approved on their website, if you want to take a look.
